Effects of Myofascial Release on the Pain and Quality of Life in Patients with Fibromyalgia

Objectives: To investigate the effects of myofascial release technique on pain and quality of life (QoL) in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of myofascial release technique on patients with FM in Shalamar Hospital Lahore, Pakistan. After initial screening, 28 patients aged 25 to 45 years of both genders meeting the predetermined inclusion criteria were selected using convenience sampling. They were divided into two groups. Group A was treated with myofascial release therapy and passive stretching, while group B was treated with passive stretching alone. The McGill pain questionnaire (MPQ) was used to assess the pain, and the revised FM impact questionnaire (FIQR) was used to evaluate QoL. Results: Out of 28 participants, 11(39.3%) were male and 17(60.7%) were females. Pre- and post-treatment mean scores of pain rating index on MPQ were 46.76±10.47 and 23.79±7.43 for the experimental group and 43.36±12.7 and 30.0±9.89 for the control group, respectively (P>0.05). Mean pre- and post-treatment FIQR scores were 52.9±13.6 and 33.02±13.75 for the experimental group and 57.77±23.04 and 46.59±19.37 for the control group, respectively. The difference in the means of post-treatment scores of the two groups for FIQR was significant (P=0.042). Discussion: Compared with passive stretching alone, the myofascial release method for FM did not demonstrate significant improvement in alleviating pain among such patients. However, it is remarkable that myofascial release therapy unveiled a positive impact by improving the overall QoL for FM patients.

Assessing awareness of danger signs of pregnancy and its associated factors among pregnant women in Libya: A cross-sectional study

BackgroundThe maternal mortality rate in Libya surpasses the regional average and is primarily due to sepsis, hemorrhages, hypertension and other factors, highlighting gaps in maternal knowledge and access to quality care. This study aimed to assess the awareness of obstetric danger signs and associated factors among pregnant women attending the outpatient clinic of Tobruk Medical Center, Libya. MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from August to October 2023, involving 301 pregnant women visiting the outpatient clinic. Convenience sampling was utilized, and data was collected using structured questionnaires. Data was initially stored in Excel and then imported into R (version 4.3.1) for analysis. Descriptive statistics were applied to both categorical and continuous variables. Logistic regression was used to study the association between awareness of danger signs and socio-demographic variables, with p-values calculated and multivariate analysis performed to adjust for confounding factors. ResultsResults revealed that 79.4% (239) of the pregnant women had awareness about danger signs. Additionally, the most cited danger signs were “fatigue” (41.5%) and “severe headache” (23.3%), whereas the least common one was “sudden gush of fluids” (10.6%). Marital status was found to be an independent predictor of knowledge about pregnancy danger signs, whereby married women were more likely to have awareness than divorced women (AOR:0.16, CI: 0.04–0.71, P-value: 0.016). ConclusionTo improve maternal healthcare, ANC units should focus on educating patients about under-recognized signs and encourage peer discussions through social media. These steps aim to enhance preparedness and reduce pregnancy-related complications.

Impact of Physical Exercise to Reduce the Risk of Gestational Hypertension, A Role of Leptin and Adiponectin

Objective: To investigate the effect of exercise on the blood pressure of new-onset hypertension and non-hypertensive pregnant women and to determine the serum leptin and adiponectin levels and their response to exercise. Methodology: This quasi-experimental cross-over study was conducted at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar. Samples were processed and analyzed at Khyber Girls Medical College Peshawar from January 2022 to April 2022. A total of 140 pregnant females were recruited for this study through convenience sampling. Out of this total, 70 were normotensive for the control group and 70 were hypertensive (gestational hypertensive). All participants were included after taking an informed consent. Results: In normotensive pregnant women, mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure remained normal, and no hypertension developed. In gestational hypertensive women, 70% responded significantly to physical exercise. Post-exercise, Group A saw decreases in systolic BP , diastolic BP , and leptin levels, with an increase in adiponectin. Group B exhibited more pronounced changes by decreased systolic BP, diastolic BP, leptin, and increased adiponectin. Conclusions: We observed that recommended physical exercise during pregnancy is safe and beneficial for maternal health in pregnancy. Physical exercise significantly reduced the progression of GH and brought the serum leptin and adiponectin levels toward normal range. Therefore, physical activity should be encouraged in every healthy woman after addressing potential barriers to exercise during pregnancy.

Impacts of Peer Support on Coping and Cortisol Levels for Women Affected by Domestic Violence and Coercive Control.

Gendered domestic violence and coercive control are prevalent public heath concerns in Canada with dire consequences for survivors. Peer support groups may address and reduce negative impacts of domestic violence and coercive control on women's stress, coping, safety, and alliances with social support network members, the focus of this study. A one-group, pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of Growth Circle, a 14-week peer support program offered at an agency serving women affected by domestic violence in a major western Canadian city. Through convenience sampling, women 18 years and older who experienced domestic violence were recruited and provided data on stress, coping, safety-related empowerment, and social support/alliances. Thirty-five participants provided all pre-test and post-test data, with a subsample of 14 providing repeated hair samples. Hair was employed to determine stress hormone (cortisol) levels. A significant reduction in self-reported levels of perceived stress and stress hormone levels following completion of the Growth Circle program was revealed. Participants also reported a significant increase in safety-related empowerment, and supportive alliances with group members. The Growth Circle peer support program was demonstrated to be effective. Further implementation and research into the Growth Circle program across Canada is recommended.

Evaluation of Preceding Variables Affecting Behavioral Use and Acceptance of Chord-Enabled Keyboard Among Students

For years, chord-enabled keyboards’ usage has stayed behind its famous counterpart, the standard QWERTY design. Recent trends in this type of keyboard prompted its usage among social media platforms focusing on productivity and efficiency. However, few studies have evaluated its acceptance and consumer usage behavior – especially in the current generation. To fill this gap, this study aimed to examine the factors that affect the acceptance and adoption of chord-enabled keyboards through Random Forest Classifier and Neural Network ensemble. Nine thousand nine hundred (9,900) data points were considered through the convenience sampling method utilizing online platforms. The results displayed that all the examined latent variables were deemed significant: Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Hedonic Motivation, Facilitating Conditions, Price Value, Habit, Intention to Use, Usage Behavior, and Perceived Usability. Among all these, usage behavior was identified as the most influential variable affecting the acceptance of chord-enabled keyboards. Users are more likely to utilize chord-enabled keyboards due to their perception of increasing productivity in accomplishing their tasks quickly, efficiently, and comfortably in the face of multiple typing tasks. Moreover, the variables of Effort Expectancy and Facilitating Conditions were also considered significant but less influential among all latent variables – due to difficulty on adoption. The results shed light on the factors influencing chord-enabled keyboard acceptance. With this, keyboard manufacturers can utilize the results to improve the acceptance and adoption of chord-enabled keyboards to improve individuals' typing efficiency and productivity, which can be extended for promotion in different countries.

Get BusActive!: Protocol of a single-blinded randomised controlled trial incentivising public transport use for physical activity gain among young people and adults.

Population level physical activity generally does not meet recommended targets. Compared with private motor vehicle users, public transport users tend to be more physically active and financial incentives may encourage more public transport use, but these relationships are under-investigated. This paper describes the protocol of a randomised controlled trial that aimed to determine the effect of financially incentivising public transport use on physical activity in a regional Australian setting. Get BusActive! is a 9.5-month single-blinded randomised controlled trial. A convenience sample of Tasmanians aged ≥15 years will be randomised to a 14-week incentive-based intervention (bus trip target attainment rewarded by bus trip credits and weekly supportive text messages) or an active control following baseline measures and will be followed up ∼24 weeks later (maintenance phase). Both groups will receive written physical activity guidelines. The primary outcome is change in accelerometer-measured steps/day from baseline to immediately post intervention phase and maintenance phase. Secondary outcomes are change in: smartcard-measured bus trips/week; measured and self-reported minutes/week of physical activity and sitting; transport-related behaviour (using one-week travel diary), perspectives (e.g. enablers/barriers) and costs; health. Linear mixed model regression will determine group differences. Participant-level process evaluation will be conducted and intervention cost to the public transport provider determined. Get BusActive! will fill an important knowledge gap about the causal relationship between financially incentivised public transport use and physical activity-the findings will benefit health and transport-related decision makers.
